USA BMX & USA Cycling organizations continue to be significantly affected by the COVID pandemic. Travel remains restricted and very challenging. The domestic and international competition calendar has undergone many changes, amendments and cancelations. We continue to plan accordingly for future events and while the intention of UCI is to host the 2021 World Challenge event in the Netherlands there are many factors outside the control of both USA BMX & USA Cycling. While the qualification process is hosted by USA BMX and the license process is a requirement of USA Cycling, neither organization ultimately has control of the likelihood of the operation or approvals of the UCI event. The qualification or purchase of any license for the World Challenge Championship is at the discretion of each rider with the understanding that cancellation is a possibility.
